    Cheers, I can’t fit Koulibaly in because I really like 10 chem on everyone and Napoli don’t have any decent keepers or left backs for a green link. I might look at upgrading De Ligt-Szcesny to Handanovic-Skriniar though.

    Apart from that, I just packed Aubameyang so he’s in now for Firmino and Partey in for Fred to keep the chem up. Also got Spinazzola in at left back, good shout on him. Really pleased with the team now.

    Did the 2x 100k pack objectives there for squad battles… a OTW Locatelli and duplicate Suarez for my troubles. Then spent the rest of the points on the 2x mega packs and 25k packs but **** all from those, an 86 Hummels the only one of note.



  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    OTW Locatelli isn't even that good. I have him, meh. :(

    CDM pretty limited value since you have to play a very specific formation to get the most of him.



  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    What is with people in rivals quitting straight away as soon as it starts?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,291 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    Perhaps your team is so much better than there's. If they have reached a checkpoint there is no downside in quitting, probably don't want to waste there time on a game they might not win.



  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Definitely not the case, their team is better than mine in both rating and chemistry.



  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Anyway, Rivals, what a frustrating mode.

    Playing Div10, won 3/4 games, thinking this is ok, my team doesn't suck. Get promoted and in Div9 I play 4/5 games and I get absolutely bummed in every match, except one where I fluked a goal in the first 5 and the guy instantly quit (ignoring the 2 or 3 games where people just insta-guit before a ball was kicked).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,222 ✭✭✭Calvin


    Yeah, he’ll go nicely alongside my OTW Berghuis in the awful OTW collection I’ve got going on.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,175 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Moon


    Could be doing the loyalty glitch for the foundation SBCs. They should be doing it in friendlies as it doesn't cost any contracts.

    Here's the team atm, same formation in-game, gonna try to play a classic 2 up top big man small man with lots of crosses. LM-LB are the most obvious upgrades once I've got the coins.





  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Is there any way to get Keane or the other heroes if you didn't pre order before the August date?

    How'd you get the icon Keane so fast?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,984 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Managed to get about 800k together from decent packs, playing, and trading, Roy was about 350k off the market. Hero cards are all in packs and on the market right now, I got Robbie for 387k as soon as he was released, he's just gone extinct since then as his max BIN is 425k and he's valued above that so nobody's selling.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,984 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    I hate Rivals but the more I think about it the more I like the new WL format, yeah it'll hurt if you don't qualify but it's basically taking 10 games from the usual 30 and allowing you to play them during the week instead.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,361 ✭✭✭BrentMused



    As someone who hits anywhere between 14 and 16 wins whenever I play WL, I like thoughts of getting almost the exact same rewards for not having to win a game!

    The problem will actually be qualifying, but once I'm in it's pretty stress free from there knowing even if I don't win a game I'll still get decent rewards, so there's no pressure at all if I get to that point.

    I tend to agree with you. Now maybe I'll never be able to go 5-4 to qualify and I'll be moaning about that in the weeks to come, but overall I like the thought of being able to play the playoff games whenever suits me during the week instead of every weekend you want to play WL being a write-off, especially now with restrictions lifted and needing to spend more time on other stuff.



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,610 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    My worry is I routinely go below 5-4 in my first nine games in the old format, and I'm not looking forward to needing to grind out 1500 every time I fail to qualify. But I've hit the 1500 mark now, so may as well give it a shot.


    Current team is...


    Have about 500k to spend, but tend to be allergic to big spends this early on. With the exception of Kane and DDG, everything there is untradeable. (EDIT: VVD isn't, actually. But I know I won't get a better CB, so I'm going to treat him as if he is. Him and Varane will likely do me for months).


    Not sure who, but I'd like to upgrade Bailly a bit. Hernandez at LB is a bit slow overall too, but not a massive issue. That team has me comfortably at Div 6, Rank 2 currently.

    The thing about qualifying is it benefits everyone to give away wins once they get to 5, the extra wins don't give much better rewards and giving them away lowers the overall quality of players in WL.


    I went 5-2 with 2 players gifting me wins and then gave away my last 2.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,473 ✭✭✭Adamcp898


    I might be a little late (or wrong) with this one, but has anybody used the Luis Diaz TOTW card?

    Was just scrolling last night and noticed that it's basically identical to the Vinicius Jr TOTW card only he's about 95% cheaper. Picked one up to test out as a super sub last night for 12.5k BIN so virtually risk free.




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    Bought degea this morning and listed him after 2 game as he may honestly be the worst keeper in the game. Balls literally go through him like osmosis



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,984 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Not really sure where the SBCs have been, looks like they're just ignoring August POTMs which is disappointing. Usually there's a POTM SBC available on release, back in 20 POTM Pukki was released 8 days before the full game release.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,320 ✭✭✭v3ttel


    Class team. How did you end up with two extinct FUT heros and an icon so soon?

    Will be building towards having Robbie Keane & Roy Keane, but it won't be until next year.

    So from looking at rivals, it seems once you win 7 games each week you will qualify for the reward for the highest division you reach? Which is just 1 pack? This seems like a lot of work for 1 pack?

    And since you can't go down, does that mean getting this one pack is going to get more difficult as the weeks go on as you presumably climb the ranks?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,757 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    Went 4-5 in qualifying and I usually got Gold 1 last year, so not great. Probably should have waited a few more days before trying as the standard was a bit high. It'll probably get easier over time as I think people who finish high in WL itself get automatic entry to the next week? That'll lower the standard in qualifying a bit



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,984 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Plan was to get Keane as soon as he released so I just bought him without worrying about his price, lucky for me it went up and not down. Milito isn't extinct though, for some reason he's got an 850k Max BIN



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 5,175 Mod ✭✭✭✭Mr Moon


    Jeez, the teams people on here have already!! I've had awful pack luck so far. Best pull so far is De Jong. Dreading taking the team into FUT champions qualifiers. I'm in Division 6 at the moment. I keep drawing games though.

    This is my current LaLiga team as my best pack pulls have been from that league




  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,610 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I guess 1 pack for 7 wins is possibly better than 20+ wins for three or four packs, in terms of comitment.


    It's going to be harder initially, but remember if people are slamming you now, they'll get promoted up out of the division quicker. So eventually the difficulty should plateau or get easier. Plus, as you play, your own abilities will increase naturally too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,320 ✭✭✭v3ttel


    Ah my bad, Milito isn't extinct. One of my favourite players from back in the day. He still costs a far chunk as does Robbie Keane and Roy Keane. Was it pack luck, trading or FIFA points?



  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    But it's 1 pack per week max, right? I can't earn more than 1 pack a week from Rivals.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,984 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    Bit of all 3, spent the 4600 and didn't get anything special but had a few 30-50k pulls, did some trading and sold up literally everything in the club (every contract, chemstyle, badge, etc.)



  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,610 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    Correct.


    There's a seasonal pack as well, for playing different number of games (I think, so far, its 10/50/90. I'm only on 60 or so myself).


    Realstically, if youre just after a weekly reward, win 7 and then stop and focus attention elsewhere (like objectives).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,468 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    Nearly have enough to buy Morientes for my team. By all accounts he's a beast and on a par with some of the prime icons.

    Would love Di Natale but he's extinct :(

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,468 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    and its bye bye Morientes..no need for him now. Gold upgrade pack





  • Registered Users Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭Rossi IRL


    Think I did 6 of them yesterday and the best I got was some 80 rated lad


    Have you used Morientes? , he looks insane.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,468 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    no I never got a chance to use him. By all accounts he's an absolute monster. I might still try and work him into the squad.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,984 ✭✭✭✭Osmosis Jones


    It's kinda outrageous though that if you can't qualify for WL you're literally limited to SEVEN games per week for rewards.



  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    I was going to ask if there is any point in playing past the 7 wins. All that I get is bumped up a division with no greater reward, so all I'm doing is making my life harder next week?

    Do people find SBs worth it? Do you have to play on WC difficulty or something to make it worthwhile?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,518 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Squad Battle rewards aren’t too bad for winning 30-35 matches on World Class, which should be a doddle with any decent team. Play the weak teams (<80 rating and <70 chem) on Legendary and it’s no harder. Not as fun playing the AI, but the bonus is that you can skip everything and the matches go a bit quicker as a result. Great way to test out new players and tactics too.

    You’ll get Elite 1 handy enough if you play and win most of the games, it only took me 32 last week and I didn’t even win them all.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,222 ✭✭✭Calvin


    Been hammering them out every now and then waiting for my Mbappe to show up.. nothing yet. Most valuable was Valverde, highest rated is Busquets.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    So what’s happens you now, do you need to earn the 1500 points again before you can attempt to qualify again (I haven’t actually got the game which is why I’m asking as curious about this)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,468 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    i was getting nothing but I found since last night I'm seeing more high rated walkouts...got Suarez and Vardy from about 6 of them last night and did 3 today and got Mbappe.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    On a side note how how does one get enough funds to purchase a varane or van dijk! I've a decent team but my pairing of Diaz and Maguire have zero pace 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,291 ✭✭✭Sudden Valley


    Yes this happened tom and yeah you have to get 1500 points again. They don't even give you a pity reward like giving you 100 qualifications for at least losing in the qualifiers. It is pretty dispiriting



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,320 ✭✭✭v3ttel


    They can't keep it as is. They are boxing off FUT champions for a huge amount of players.

    The difference in quality of teams between those who can qualify and those who can't is going to be ridiculous. Going 0-20 in FUT champs is like finishing gold 1 last year, while everyone else is stuck having to re-qualify and only getting 1 or 2 packs per week from rivals, and a couple of bits and pieces from the playoffs.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    that is so bad! As someone who’s not superb at the game I find this new set up awful and would make me not get the game.

    imagine the pressure when you’re 4-4 and lose to a bs goal, not only do you miss out on the weekend league and it’s rewards, you’ve to start the process of another 30 or 40 rivals games just to earn the right to attempt the qualifying again.

    I know it’s geared to make you spend fifa points in order to “make sure you qualify next time” but this might back fire on them.

    casuals won’t hang around for months if they don’t address this.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,757 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    I need to get the 1500 points again, and it is not quick...at least 15 wins at my current level I think



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    That’s woeful, really hope they amend this.

    hopefully you get there quick enough and best of luck qualifying next time, as you said, standard should be a little easier by then

    How on earth do people get the 1500 points for FUT Champs each week? That's a lot of games.



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭Rossi IRL


    I have been playing rivals since early access and only have 1300.


    I honestly don't think I will try for weekend league at all.


    Play some rivals and then do some objectives is what this FIFA is looking like for me.



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,369 ✭✭✭Rossi IRL


    There is 3 ways to make money


    Trade which is exhausting

    Spend € which is depressing (I've done it)

    Get extremely lucky in a random pack (not likely)


    If you are looking to upgrade and I'm guessing you have a prem team. Rudiger is a great and isn't that much compared to Varane etc.


    Best bet is to do all the milestones and objectives that reward packs, usually untradable, and hope for the best.



  • Administrators Posts: 54,168 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    FUT Champs qualifiers every couple of weeks it seems like is all I can hope for. Do you get rewards for getting to the qualifiers?

    Do you get a larger number of points for games in higher divisions?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,757 ✭✭✭✭AdamD


    You get a lot more points per win when you go up divisions. Can't find specifics online but you're talking double points per win as you go up a division. E.g. I'm getting 100 per win in Div 5
